Sproat Lake Provincial Park

Sproat Lake is a recreation destination located west of the community of Port Alberni, BC on Vancouver Island, Canada. The park is close to the community and is easily accessable from the main road therefore it is a very popular park in the summer for swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, wind surfing and water skiing.

The 43 hectare park is surrounded by unique year round waterfront homes and resorts. Many with private piers and boats.

The hiking trails in the park are a great way to explore the lake and enjoy the views. Some trails are wheel chair friendly. One of the trails on the east side of Sproat Lake leads to the K'ak'awin Petroglyphs. These ancient First Nation drawings supposedly represent that monsters which once lived in the lake!

There are 3 separate picnic sites located throughout the day-use area in Sproat Lake Provincial Park. The day use area includes picnic tables under a canopy of Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar trees. There are fire pits, a large grassy area, pit toilets and 2 flush toilet buildings (one next to the boat launch and one by the lower campground.) Down by the lakeshore is a grassy area and sandy beach.

There is a lower and upper campground in the park. In the campground are running water taps, hot showers and a boat launch. No sani-station, playground or electrical hook up available in this park.
